Just to say this, Seymour, if you didn't realize, was a reference to Hachikō, a dog who's beloved owner died after getting on a train. Hachikō would always follow his owner to the train station, and he didn't realize that his owner died, so he stayed there, at the train station waiting for his owner to come back. Hachikō stayed there until he died himself. Forgive me if you are familiar to this story and I got some stuff wrong, but for those who haven't, there is a movie about Hachikō and I recommend it
Fireclan1000 So he fallout dog statue was a reference to a reference? Btw,I've never seen a single Futurama episode,but when I first saw the clip of the dog slowly dying,I nearly lost my sh*t. XD
Fireclan1000 You are right. I seen that movie along time ago it was sad and it's based on a true story and that they made a statue if him in real life.
he actually bark for the owner to stay because he felt he wasnt okay but the owner still went to work and had a heart attack, the dog knew he was dead but he still had hope to find him at the same spot like everyday, he was so loyal that he stayed day/night to his death waiting for his owner. i cry everytime
Fallout 1: Need to find a water chip Fallout 2: Need to find a G.E.C.K Fallout 3: Need to find my dad Fallout New Vegas: Need to find Benny Fallout 4: Need to find my son Hmm seems kinda similar doesn't it?
+foughtwolf So people shouldn't ever change or be flexible due to the "fear" of a slippery slope? Maybe when demanding or dominating respect in a more dark age world, but modern society people should totally adjust content. In fact, they could have made it a rhino and given a different name for India. It's not that hard for a company this big. Don't be so disrespectful to others.
foughtwolf It's also a cultural reason. Also, the "slippery slope" argument is terribly flawed and never worth going on basis for unless within sensible context. This isn't a big deal. It's not like they're preventing you from eating cows. They just didn't like how a cow (with that specific name) was depicted. Also, it is kind of offensive that they chose to use that name for a cow (similar to the fatman and Japan).
In A boy and his dog the films vault dwellers offered the boy unlimited procreation with all their women this was of course a trick and they milked him for his wriglers he was even married and quicky divorced from each girl as he was milked...x
Honestly 68 sounds worse. I could not stand being around 999 men who are desperate and trying to outdo any out macho each other That's in trusting they won't just straight up attack me
I haven't played New Vegas, but the dog statue moreso resembles the dog Hachiko in Shibuya station who had a statue erected of him due to him waiting for his owner to get off the train long after his death. Is this really a reference to Futurama? Or just the story of Hachiko
I mean, there's Alpha, Beta, and Gamma radiation. Alpha is the weakest, a piece of paper can stop it. Beta is moderately weak, a sheet of metal can stop it. With no protection, it can go 4mm into your skin. (Skin cancer) Gama or Rays. So only a lead block can stop it. Gama will go right through you.
Alpha is big not weak; if an alpha particle gets inside you then it could be fatal. A gamma particle is very weak but extremely penetrative; you absorb loads of it everyday and is mostly harmless.
I do know radiation types... Do you? Alpha and bats are particles. As where Gamma are Rays. If it gets inside of you, you will get radiation poisoning.
It's also a reference to the real life story of Hachiko, professor Ueno's dog who would go to the train station in Shibuya every day and wait for the train. When Ueno died Hachiko continued going there every day at the same time (just before the train arrived) for almost 10 years waiting for his owner who never came.
Dayton Waterjet We had to watch a video in history class about the bombings on Hiroshima and one woman was frantically trying to save her child from being stuck in the rubble. It was horrid. I didn't cry but it made me feel ill so yeah.
Interplay made Fallout as a sequel to Wasteland, because Wasteland was made by Interplay games. They made the first two until Bethesda bought the rights to it in 2005.
Freakin' awesome that you actually mentioned A Boy And His Dog! It's my #1 favorite movie - mostly for the awesome character dynamic between Vic and Blood. Virtually NOBODY is even aware of this movie, but only on all the post-apocalyptic fiction tropes it helped give rise to. It was absolutely a trendsetter, even though almost nobody has seen it XD
If you see an atomic bomb going off, don't run, get to cover. A. You cannot outrun a shock-wave like that. B. There is a distance at which the bombs energy can only vaporize your skin, meaning a mere shadow would save you.
Yes, you're right. The main point is: you are probably dead. Running won't do anything, since the blast force alone travels at supersonic speeds, and if you are at it's path it'll tear you apart. You can improve your chances by staying behind the most solid walls you can find (if they can't stand the blast, neither can your body), laying on the ground protecting the head (making yourself small to avoid contact with the energy as much as possible) and covering yourself. If you are far enough and in a strong enough place, you have a change. If not, well... Nothing else you do will matter anyway, so might as well try.
Idk how nobody else talked about this j was watching this going to sleep and was reminded of the episode when I heard it. Animals suffering is way worse than human suffering to me lol and idk why. Especially when it's dogs.
Rip Seymour. I cried, still cry and will always have my heart ripped from my chest every time I think about that loyal canine. Cartoon character I know, however Seymour represents all love pets who have passed. GOD DAM EMOTIONS ARE BULLSHIT
XBOX THE RISE OF HEROES It's more about PR than anything else. Being under a desk may protect you from some rubble should the building integrity be comprised. But not the Nuclear blast. The point of it was, I'd imagine, to give hope and maintain morale. Especially in children, who would have little idea of a Nuclear weapons power. Hiding under the table is reasonable enough to make most children feel safe. Just like hiding under a blanket from monsters. It gives the children hope, a sense of safety, and prevents panic.Hell, I'd wager most adults at the time didn't understand the power involved. As I recall, they made Nuclear fallout shelters for the public. They were effectively the same as hiding under a desk. Not secure enough to protect from nuclear explosions. And not stocked enough to provide for thousands of people for the years it would take to clear the radiation. Regardless, it felt better to do something than to be told to stand there and await your death, quick... or slow a painful depending on your distance.
SgtHappyHands I fully agree and all but even when I was kid I still knew what nuclear fall out is. so even if they could get way from falling objects I would know that fall out can go throw many walls even if there's no blast.
I was born well after the cold war ended... so I've no experience to speak of what the purpose was or what people did and didn't know. But like I said, and you acknowledged, something was better than nothing. Humans are interesting like that.
Cool fact: If there is a large Hazmat incident then to determine if you are far enough away from the incident you should hold up one thumb and if it covers the leak or whatever then you are far enough away. That is what I was taught in my hazmat class and it has been dubbed the rule of thumb.
Cool fact: that's what the vault boy is doing in many of the loading screens and bobbleheads so if anyone was wondering what his was doing he was doing what this man was explaining
+Bryant Notar The rule of thumb appears in many various forms and functions, the above being one. However, the earliest use of the expression 'rule of thumb' was the oppression of women by men. Where it was supposedly used in English law that allowed a man to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. A early use of it being a case in 1782 by Judge Sir Francis Buller "Judge Thumb" that made this very ruling. Earliest known use of it being in print was 1685 in "Heaven Upon Earth". The comment in the book "many profest Christians are like to foolish builders, who build by guess, and by rule of thumb, (as we use to speak) and not by Square and Rule". The whole idea of the common law to beat your wife as being the main history is often, if not heavily disputed. Unless of course you are a feminist whom use this quote as a early glorification by men in their subjugation of women. The exact origin is unknown outside some earliest uses. So some take its earliest references as either a measure of things, or by the discipline of a man to a woman. These days thankfully its all about measure. Not like we hear of a man grabbing a item as thick as his thumb and citing the rule of thumb. Why the post? The character could be doing it as a reference to both. As part of a rule of thumb in measure, and by the oppression of the spouse. Given that Fallout is not short on sexual pervasiveness to which it could equally apply, or even in the way one may view spousal relationships in a post apocalyptic future, and the discipline of such. As well as the measure of things be it by trade, construction, or safety in distance from something etc.
1. It was in the video, it's the last, bonus, "fact". 2. The designer himself debunked it being what the pip-boy is doing. It's just a normal thumbs up. 3. It's not really effective in any way.
Yup, it involves console commands but still you can marry yourself, but I wish instead of the mass effect style speech they still had the box with like 10 speech options, I like knowing exactly what my player is going to say
There's a theory me and my dad have (we play the games with each other) that the Mysterious Stranger from Fallout 3 is actually either the ghost of pre-war Nick Valentine or Nick from when he was first exposed to the wasteland. The Mysterious Stranger was the character who would sometimes appear in VATS to assist you. They are dressed very similar, and they both use a small revolver.
Divya Rustagi It was banned when it came out. It eventually got released. You can buy the GOTY edition for Fallout 3 and pre-order Fallout 4 on flipkart. Unfortunately, EA withdrew the release for Dragon Age Inquisition due to it's gay content. Luckily my friend from the US bought it for me.
gameranx Thanks for the facts. The only two I didn't know was the Pipboy thumbs up and that Bethesda wanted more survival added in. I think we dodged a nuke on that one, since even with New Vegas and advanced mods making it more complex, the survival aspect is still poorly done. I don't think the modified Gamebyro engine could ever do survival well. I guess I'll give you the marriage fact, too - I didn't know that you needed more Charisma for male/male than other pairings.
Ok... first i didn't believe you than i checked it out... when i saw it was the truth... i got sick because i laughed so hard i puked and well... i'm gonna stay home now for 3-5 days XD
ok, I haven't seen that episode of Futurama yet but I've heard about it and seeing that clip in this video actually almost made me cry, now I have to watch the episode, I like it when film, tv, and videogames effect my emotions like that, making it feel real
GAH! great friggin video bro, but did you HAVE to include Seimore's from Futurama?! damn that scenes sad... thanks again for the "ten things" videos yo!
I think it's cool that Matthew Perry Loves and is Passionate about Fallout i just wish he could have brought some of that Love and Passion to his Performance as Benny i mean he did an ok Job his Voice definitely suits Benny but i would have liked if he could have been more Charismatic, Lively and had more Intensity in his Performance.
+Connor Smith It could certainly flash burn their retinas. The thumb thing could have been the reason for Vault Boy, but I think it's an urban myth regardless.
gameranx the last one with the thumbs up was a lie because u had to look to see but that would blind u they taught my dad to duck in a ball and cover ur heart with ur knees and head and neck with ur hands so that's a lie please respond
6:56 I don't think that is a conspiracy theory. It is more like a fact. The guy could work both ways as giving you an encouraging thumbs up or checking out the size of a mushroom cloud because he has one eye closed and us humans do that when we want a precise look at things or when we need to give a mischievous "you got this" (only when you have your thumb up, there are way more meanings to a wink) . So it could be 50/50 one of those two and the only real way to find out is to ask the logo designers.
To be more precise, it's the biological family composed by most cattle. Basically, any cloven-hoofed, ruminant mammals, cows included. Also, the specific name "Brahmin" is in the real world the name of traditional hindu societies of India and Nepal, or a kind of hindu priest. Also, there is a type of cow breed from varieties from India called Brahman or Brahma. All of those names come from Brahma, the Hindu God of Creation, and also the center of the oldest known monotheistic religion: Brahmanism. So yeah, the fallout "Brahmin" are deeply intertwined with both cows and Hinduism by design.
Maybe, but the only reason "Fat Man" is cool to us is because of the real world equivalent, and it's understandable that the japonese wouldn't find that as amusing. I would be like giving american players an item to guide airplanes to buildings and calling it the "9/11".
Fallout 4 one of my favorite games! I spent way too much time in it. Besides for the quests, you can build settlements, which if it is your thing, you're going to love it, if not, it will be annoying. It has a real strong story line; not going to give away anymore. You can play as the husband or the wife. You pick that in the beginning of the game when you stand in front of the mirror. I accidentally figured that out, therefor I let you know now. Have fun and know you've been warned: you're going to throw away at least a months worth of your time ;)
TheRedPuppyDog Please name one source that ties "nucular" to a regional dialect. All I can find is it being listed in dictionaries as a common mispronunciation, and a smattering of people from the English speaking world who don't pronounce it correctly. P.S. Is it even a common enough word to make it into a dialectic vernacular?
AMGwtfBBQsauce .........What are you even getting upset about? No, I can't really specify where in the whole entirety of the motherfucking Earth people say it differently. I'm just saying a lot of people have different ways of saying different words. For example, Andromeda. I say an-drow-meada and others say an-drom-mada. Or with gemstones. For Malachite, I say mala-kite. Others might say mala-chite. So, that's why I said it can be said different ways.
TheRedPuppyDog Lol I wasn't upset, I was legitimately asking for a source, because I couldn't find one. Yes, I actually looked! Dialect doesn't just mean a bunch of random people pronounce a word some way, you know. It is usually tied to a region, ethnicity, or culture. That's what prevents it from being "just wrong." Nuclear and the example malachite you just gave don't appear to have any verified pronunciation except one. (The one you gave for malachite with the hard ch is correct. I don't think I've ever actually heard it mispronounced the other way. :P) In the end, I guess, yeah, people can say words however they want. But that doesn't make it correct...
+Walker Rice I don't think so, it just makes sense that in a world where you can die at any moment you just tie relationships with anybody the hell yo want.
+borntorazehell777 how fucking narrow minded and stupid could you be? I respect that the previpus guy didn't agree with it, but you just blatantly made a homophobic remark. And besides, none of the games in the fallout serires have sex-oriented content
Fun Fact : Seymor (the dog fromFuturama) was based of Hachiko, a dog who was left waiting for years on a train station not knowing that his owner/ master was already dead. SO THIS, THIS IS REFERENCE-CEPTION!
I'd love to see the carbonized silhouette of someone standing with a thumbs up on the side of a building after an atomic explosion. I mean, if you're going out, at least do it like a badass.
This one is known, but not commonly by newer people to the series, but years after the detonation of the Enclave oil rig there are still surviving retired enclave soldiers(and are elderly), and they can help you in the battle of Hover Dawn in Fallout New Vegas.
Actually, a nuclear powered car wouldn't need to have a reactor or even fissionable material, but just RTGs using isotopes of cesium or strontium as the heat source for a thermocouple to generate electricity. The electricity is constantly generated, so while your car sits it can charge a battery system which powers electric motors.
+Bruce Custodio I don't know that much either, I just got the idea after seeing The Martian and finding out there are RTGs that use safer materials than plutonium - like strontium or cesium, though they last for only 30 years rather than 90. However, with crazy idiots and bad drivers everywhere, you wouldn't want a 90 year variety here on Earth. It will probably never be done anyway, but still would be cool.
+Benevolens Psittacorum Yeah, it could only become a possibility when RTGs are very developed and trusted in the hands of civilians, or when RTG powdered public transport /controlled (Goes on a set path or A.I)personal vehichles are the main way of transportation.
Dogmeat first showed up in Fallout 1, and you can get him as a companion (one of two dogs avliable) in Fallout 2 if you find the Cafe of Broken Dreams easter egg.
Interesting fact: Nuclear power plants don't use weapon grade uranium and so will never explode like a bomb. So the same, we can presume would be true for a nuclear powered car.
